Karde used Corrllian Gunships (See Empire At War Rebel Unit). It really

wouldnt look good as a Scum ship. and most rebel players, including me, would be

slightly annoyed. Also they would need to create new missile mechanics for the

large ships, as the Gunship was more a Missile Boat

True, but Karrde's most famous ship is his personal vessel the Wild

Karrde, an Action VI transport. I doubt that FFG would make the next Scum Epic a

DP20/Corellian Gunship, it was more popular in earlier games/Legends EU as an

Imperial Navy ship or Rebel Alliance ship (Star Wars Rebellion unit).

What ever it is, it will likely be sourced from Rebels and will need to be

the Corvette / Raider equal for Scum.

Now I woUldale love it to be Black

Sun themed and give the Viper some love but I also feel that would make a nice

double pack to flesh out the Khiraxz and Viper.

Remember, the Corvette

didn't come with a small ship, no reason to assume this

will.

Well, lets look at previous releases

Corvette - Nothing

Transport - X-Wing

Raider - TIE Advanced

Gozanti - TIE Fighter

CROC - Scyk

??? - ???

If there is a Scum Aces pack then the Corvette sized Scum Epic won't have

another ship. The flip side is, if they do include a ship then a lot more people

will buy it. My money is on FFG making more $$$ than not.

It could have an update to the G-1A. Hard to say that ship wasn't DoA,

with crew cards being about the only thing from that pack getting any use.

Its possible. I don't think it is as likely as a Starviper/Kihraxz, those

ships are slightly older and would fit into a pack that includes Black Sun/Hutt

Cartel Epic ships very easily. Though the C-ROC doesn't have any particular

affiliation with the Cartel/Scyk, so that does argue that having the escort ship

be relatable to the Epic ship isn't a huge deal to

FFG.

Ah, I was silently assuming a "Veterans" style Black Sun box that updated the Starviper and Kihraxz, as both use "Black Sun _______" for their generic pilots. I know I would buy at least 2 if it fixed those ships, since I've wanted to fly the Starviper since it came out. As others have said, the C-Roc is not even out yet, so I suspect there will be several other releases before we see another Scum epic. Fixing the G-1A at that time would probably not be a terrible idea, given it's almost complete lack of impact as anything other than "Zuckuss crew caddy". (See: autothrusters and the Starviper)

Good point. I was assuming the same, but who knows with FFG. I thought for sure we'd have a Scum Vets or Epic out before now, but with the new movies/shows it seems that they're trying to strike while the metal is hot. Actually, now that I think on it, having the G-1A as the escort would work much better than another z95.

I have yet to, I did buy it during the steam sale, and a video game plays a bit different than X-Wing.

You really should, games a lot of fun also, the game is extremely easy to modify. All the data files can be easily extracted and are in XML format, with the exception of the LUA Scripts, but those are more for Missions and stuff. You can add new units, alter the firepower, accuracy etc just on the wight of XML files, and all can be edited in TXT Format. If you want I can toss you my mod that re introduces the Venator to the Empire and Rebel Fleets for Galactic Conquest. (Still need to make it so Empire can build it tho). It was going to be in the game, but was cut at some point, thou the model and data still exist, the only thing really removed was the able to be built flags.

On the orginal topic, I still stand by the idea that the Star Jewel would make a boat load more money for FFG then either creating some new ship for "rebels" or using the Action IV. The Action IV looks like a lunch box used by construction workers, where at least the star jewel has an extremely unique silhouette that can always be recognized.

Even Dark Forces only fans would prob pick that ship up and prob be introduced to the game that way would be another good thing. Thats how I got into x-wing, I saw the HWK online and was like OMG THATS FROM DARK FORCES! I gotta get it!

Needs to be done FFG!

Also Rihkxyrk Assault Fighter for scum....maybe the GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat, both of those ships for scum would be great, especially since Scum currently doesn't have a high end bomber like the K-wing or Punisher.

I would love to see Wild Karrde (Action VI)!

Talon would make for an excellent addition to the game.

Also, Talon managed to take down a Victory-class Star Destroyer with the Wild Karrde.

If not that, I would love to see a Mandalorian ship or Black Sun.

The next scum epic is the Skyhook.

It could have an update to the G-1A. Hard to say that ship wasn't DoA, with crew cards being about the only thing from that pack getting any use.

I disagree that the G1-A was dead on arrival. Sure, it's not super competitive at tournaments and such, but then, the same can be said for half of the available ships at the moment. Out of all the games I've played, I have more wins than losses with the G1-A starfighter in my list. The Zuckuss + 4-LOM + Electronic Baffle combo is really good! I've also had great success flying Zuckuss in a Mindlink list where Electronic Baffle can help him avoid taking the stress from other ships. So no, I don't think we need a G1-A starfighter in an aces pack or bundled with an epic ship. Also, the G1-A is really supposed to represent one ship: the Mist Hunter. I don't like the idea of releasing a whole bunch of new pilots for a ship that canonically only had 2 well-known pilots.

I would rather see the Z-95 come with an epic ship with more pilots. Keep in mind that the small ship included with the epic ship doesn't need to be "fixed." The X-wing and TIE Fighter simply got new pilots and, in the case of the X-wing, new astromechs. They weren't really "fixed." So I think the Z-95 is a fine inclusion for the next epic ship. They could even release it in the Binayre Pirate scheme or some kind of battered and scummy paint job to contrast with the neat Black Sun paint jobs.

If they have the StarViper fix with the next Scum Epic than a potential ship choice would be the Crusader-class, as it was a MandalMotors design and was used by Scum. It appears in Empire at War: Forces of Corruption as the anti-fighter corvette of the Zann Consortium. We know that FFG has dipped into EAW before, especially for Armada (Assault Frigate Mk. 2, MC-30c).

The Assault Frigate is so....ugly...it looks like a Nebulon B Frigate used warp speed, and ramed itself up the ass of a Mon Calamari Starship

The Mk. 1 Assault Frigate is much more pleasing to the eye IMO than the ugly Mk. 2.
